    This is the main thing I took from the fight. Floyd always kept his opponents honest, Pac was no different and if he had ignored this and gambled, Floyd puts him on the deck

    It was 80% Floyd's jab, even Roach said they couldn't do anything about it. He said Floyd's jab is the best in the business.

    Havent you just answered your own question in your original post? And Floyd isnt a trader he was never going to do that against Pacquiao surely nobody expected him to.

    MVC Floyd himself said he had to box him smart and hold and clinch him

    when Floyd threw with Pac he got hurt this is facts.

    Not hurt, at all.

    He was defending intelligently easily, never looked hurt or buckled to me.

    And he boxes smart against everyone!

    He did not fight like that against Judah who also is a southpaw he pressed the attack with him but with Pac he felt he could not do it Pac was far to strong.

    Floyd to this day holds pac above the rest of his opponents and that Pac was past it.

    Pac struggled with Floyd reach and could not get inside as much as he would like yes I agree with this but Floyd never made it a fight Pac was willing to fight toe2toe if given the chance you honestly think if Floyd opened up Pac would not of taken the offer of a war?

    Pac could not just walk through simply because of Floyd turning him and clinching him and having that long reach(Pac also lost a lot of his killer instinct) Pac would of swang and wasted energy Floyd had good sharp counters Floyd used the whole ring when Pac tried to get inside he would jab and move rinse repeat.

    Floyd made the whole fight a dud if he just opened up and engaged Pac you would think Pac would not taken the offer of a war? if that happened Pac would of knocked him out thus why Floyd avoided any exchange.

    Pac was ready for the war Floyd was not and boxed him.

    Because Pac wasn't "shot" and could obviously still bang. Did you see what he did to Bradley and Algieri? You fail AGAIN. Hang up the Pac/Mayweather leotard and move the **** on.

    I don't think anyone actually believed he would go toe to toe. He said that before a lot of his fights.

    Floyd should of stayed in the centre of the ring and duked it out like a real man instead of running
